InDesign Help | Export content for EPUB | CS6

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/export-content-epub-cs6.html

The Kindle whitepaper is out of date. In particular, it seems that Amazon does not accept Calibre-created.mobi files - .mobi files created by converting from .epub to .mobi in Calibre - and insists on using Kindlegen to create .mobi files. In my experience, however, Calibre does a better job of converting from .epub to .mobi than Kindlegen, and I do not know why .mobi files created by Calibre are unacceptable.

Need help with Italics for ePub and InDesign CS5

Could someone help a me out. I just can not find the answer to this and I know it should be simple, I am just missing it.
I am creating an ePub from CS5 InDesign. All I want to do is have the italics that are shown in the text box in InDesign, show up in the epub file.
I would prefer not to say what I have done (I think I have tried everything, but obviously I did them all wrong, so no point listing them) and I am hoping someone can do a simple, step by step guide to how to have italics show up in the ePub file.
Sorry if this question is beneath everyone, this is really annoying that I can not figure this out on my own.

Yup, done this.
In InDesign, the text is Italic. It has the Character Style Italic associated with it.
But when I export to ePub, it is not italic.
Here is the HTML from the xhtml file for a single line of what is supposed to be italic text,
<p class="normal normal-override-2" xml:lang='en-us'><span class="italic italic-override">Words that should be Italic.</span></p>
The above line does not show up as italic in any of the 3 readers I am using to test with.
Now, in the css sheet, the span.italic-override does not have anything associated to font-style. If I manually add the font-style italic, then re-pack everything, it works.
It just seems to me a bit absurd to have to export the epub, unpack it, open it in dreamweaver, add the font-style, and repack it just to have something as simple as italic work.
So, I am missing something, I get that... I just can't figure out what!

Indesign 2014 exporting pdf for web large fiel size

I am exporting an Indesign 2014 file to pdf print for web. I have tried smallest file size, Acrobat 4 & 5 and also selected transparency flattener when exporting pdf. File comes out to 12MB either way. I have gone into Adobe pdf and optimized the pdf and comes out around 11MB. The Indesign file has some small photoshop images also layered vector AI file. I have flattened the AI file and placed that image in Indesign but file is still large. With the AI file I have exported it as a jpeg and placed that in Indesign and file comes out fine for web under 1 MB. Checking with the group if there is a way that Indesign can export the AI file without replacing it as a jpeg.

Checking with the group?
The best and most logical way would be to export a PDF from the AI and place that one, so ID just needs to copy. ID is not an AI-to-PDF converter.

- Mac - InDesign and export images in ePub

Hi,
I work on Mac (latest OS X.8.5) with InDesign CC.
I made stylesheets.
I anchor my images to text.
Why when I export I find all my compiled late epub (version 2) images?
Best regards

Frank,
Merci pour votre réponse et de prêter une attention à mon problème.
Vous avez raison le mieux est que vous puissiez juger sur pièces.
Je vous envoie des captures d'écran.
Toutefois il aurait peut être été plus parlant que je vous envoie à la fois le fichier indd et epub en mp ?
Lors de l'export en epub il décompose le texte des images associées.
Dois-je régler les préférences ou ailleurs ?
Alors que j'aimais travailler dans InDesign anciennement, les dernières versions ont énormément progressées et... sont devenues des usines à gaz.
J'en profite pour vous poser une autre question : pourquoi ai-je deux affichages différents. Un avec ancre et l'autre avec le carré bleu en haut à droite ?
En allant dans l'aide d'Adobe j'ai cru comprendre que ce carré permettait de laisser par ex l'image sur le plan de travail en l'ancrant au texte par un signe Y barré ?
Au plaisir de vous lire.
Bonne journée, cdt.

InDesign Help | What's new in CS6

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/whats-new.html

Well, the first 2 options under "Persistent text frame fitting options" make sense and are pretty self-explanatory, but what does "No Line Breaks" mean? Are we just supposed to experiment to figure it out by ourselves?

InDesign cs6 crashes when I export to an epub file.

The file orginally was a cs5.5 file. I have tried rebuilding the file in a new digital file but that hasn't worked. When I save it to open it in cs5.5, I can export to an epub file without any problem. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm running OS 10.7 and I have 4 Gigs of memory. I upgraded to cs6 principally because the advanced epub ability as I'll be publishing mainly e-books. Help! What's happening?

Thanks for your response. I just gave up and rebuilt the file and now the file is fine. Incidentally, I had created two InDesign book files at the same time and one opened in CS6 without any problem. Both use the same chapter head graphics -- so who knows what strange beasts these computer programs are.

Using Indian language (Mangal) font for ePub in InDesign CS6?

Hi,
I created one Indian language epub in Indesign CS6 wiht "mangal font". See correct file for your ref.
But when I set text in Indesign & export that document for ePub & check in Adobe Digital Edition. I saw one character has missing. see below image:
Why this happened? Could any budy help on this topic? I need solution for this. or tell me which devnagari font has use for Adobe digital Edition?

Hi Ellis,
Please find download link below:

Inside of zip are test document, font, InDesign file & picture of original text for your ref.

InDesign CS4 crashes when I export for epubs

Every time I choose "Export book for digital editions...." in the book menu, the program sometimes (but not always) exports to the epub format -- but then InDesign crashes and closes. Sometimes there is an epub saved; sometimes there is not.
This is the error message I get: "Runtime error: R6025 - pure virtual function call". Makes no sense to me, and it happens every time, no matter what other programs I do or do not have open.
I'm running Win XP SP3 and have plenty of memory.
Thanks.

Good morning (for me, at least). OK, let's try to catch up.
I am still not 100% clear what your actual problem is. Perhaps you can start by restating it clearly and unambiguously.
Has it changed since June?
You might post a screenshot of the way you have the TOC set up.
But the first step is to figure out if it happens with a brand new document that is untainted by your existing document. Perhaps something in your current document is making InDesign misbehave. So make sure that TOC export works right from a fresh document.
After that, then the task is to figure out what about your document is causing the problem. Exporting to IDML is a good step to clearing corruption, but is not 100% definitive. But if it works, great. Other steps including using the Pages (panel) > Move Pages function to move pages between documents, and also exporting individual stories to InDesign Tagged Text and then re-importing them into new documents. You can also export some items as snippets, though this is likely to have the same effect as IDML, but somewhat more self-contained (think "IDML Export of this page only.")
In short, this is Divide and Conquer. The problem could be in a story, in a style, on a page, in an image, etc., etc.
Additionally, you might want to consider ponying up $40 and engaging Adobe Support: http://adobe.com/go/supportportal.
Unfortunately support for CS4 is somewhat waning (it is 3 versions old!), and Adobe Support is not always stellar at solving problems quickly. Still, they are an option to consider.
Also, I'm definitely not an EPUB person. Hopefully when you post the details of what exactly you're doing some of the EPUB folks will still be paying attention to this thread and can point out any obvious issues they are aware if ("Hey! It's a known bug if you use the letter é in your EPUB TOC! Just remove it and you're good!" or whatever).
You ask:
Do you know what I can do to fix the stack problem? Is that an Adobe problem or a Windows problem? I'm waaay beyond the limits of my expertise here.
It's not a "problem" per se -- the stack is a data structure that stores state about functions calls made by programs. Under normal circumstances, when a program crashes -- that is, when the operating system detects that a program has done something it should never do, such as tried to access a region of memory that does not belong to it, the operating system forcibly terminates the program -- the stack reflects information about the function that was currently executing, and the function that called it, and the function that called it, etc., etc., typically 20-50 levels deep.
Depending on exactly why the program faulted, sometimes this information is not available. For instance, if the program failure that caused the crash involved corruption on the stack.
Often the stack can give us useful clues about the nature of the crash, and those clues can help us avoid the crash. Simple example: "Oh, this crash is related to the third party extension Frobozz Magic Font! Turn it off!"
I just posted a question about the corrupted stack in the Microsoft forum, and they replied only Adobe can fix it. It's apparently not a Microsoft problem.
They are, to a first order, correct. When InDesign crashes, it's an Adobe problem. The stack issue is a low-level diagnostic and is unlikely to be a real problem. But certainly no one could fix it without altering the InDesign program, and only Adobe can do that.
I'm getting pretty nervous about this; I have clients screaming for their books, and I'll have to refund some money if this isn't solved. Whatever you can do would really be appreciated!
I think you need to present us with a lot more information about your problem.
Precise steps to reproduce it.
Screenshots showing how you have it set up.
Copies of files that exhibit it.
That we can try to reproduce it, see if it is specific to your machine or your document, give recommendations on how you can work around or avoid it, etc.
And seperately, aside from all of those things, is getting the problem fixed. Though if it happens in CS4 and not in CS5.5, well, then it's unlikely that a fix will be forthcoming. Adobe just isn't updating CS4 any more. They're hardly updating CS5 and CS5.5, and CS6 is on the horizon.
Oh, and if you're willing to throw money at the problem, you can look at upgrading. EPUB support has changed dramatically in CS5.5 (for the better, I am told, but I don't speak from personal experience), so it's likely that any problems you saw with it under CS4 will be very very different [and hopefully gone!] in CS5.5.

Indesign CC 2014 Fixed-Layout Epub exported great for iBooks. Can I do the same for Kindle?

I have read a lot about being able to edit the Epub code in a Fixed-Layout Indesign CC exported Epub. This Epub works great in IBooks. What I read said I could clean up the
code so it works for Kindle. But I can't figure out what code needs to be cleaned out. How can I export it correctly or clean it up?
Hope someone here knows,
Thanks for the help in advance,
Janis

Monica,
Thanks for your response.
I tried again as you suggested.
I exported a Fixed Layout ePub (exported size ~29mb) and tried to load it on an Mac, iPad and iPhone 5s. The results are inconsistent. On the Mac, I received a message that the file was corrupt. On the iPad, the file did eventually load (the quality of the output is another discussion - sneak preview, it's not as good as Circular Flo. Lots of weird stuff). On the iPhone 5s, iBooks is still spinning and has been for about 10 minutes.

Export for epub missing in my Indesign CS5

I have just installed In Design CS as part of the Adobe design premium suite. My problem is, Export for epub menu option is not visible. Hence I'm unable to export any epub. How can I bring back this option. Please help.
Refer the attached screengrab.

Did you check your "Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5/Scripts" directory for additional directories "XHTML For Digital Editions" and "Export as XHTML"?
Be aware that both subdirectories "Resources" and "startup scripts" should be present with a bunch of additional scripts.

Why do InDesign CS 5.5 quit when i try to export for ePub?

Everytime i try to export my document for ePub, InDesign cs 5.5 quit. This is a book i made for print, but i would like to go forth and back from indesign to Adobe digital editions to make the changes that are needed end then use Dreamweaver for working with the CSS. But i can't seem to get an ePub out of the document! And I haven't got a clue what's stopping it for exporting...

I suspect that you ask this question in the wrong forum, you are in the Adobe Captivate forums, no publishing to epub. Perhaps you'll need the InDesign forum?

Problem Exporting Book to .EPUB from InDesign CS4

I am creating an .EPUB book with InDesign CS4. The problem I am having is when I export. I have created a book file separating all me sections into separate InDesign files (Cover, Title Page, Chapter 1, ect.). Once I have set it all up I export and the .EPUB and the document is incomplete. I can see the exverything up till the end of chapter 1. Then there is a blank gap until the couple end pages. It basically leaves out the whole body of the book. I separated the chapters so that I could create the navigation bar for the .EPUB. Is there something I am forgeting to do for this to happen. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I am having the exact same problem. When exporting a book from CS4 only the TOC and the first Chapter or section export correctly. Inside the epub file everything seems configured correctly but all the chapter or sections after the first are xhtml files without any content, just the initial structure of an ordinary xhtml file.
Anyone have any answers to this? If we can't get the export from book option working it basically makes InDesign useless for Epubbing things. Which makes me think this isn't a common problem or if it is there is a solution.
Help!
Oh, and I am using the ME edition of CS4 in case that matters, though I don't see that it should.
